For spring ’17 at Paris Fashion Week, the Tokyo designer and French accessory star collaborated on two new styles done in patent. The first, a lug sole mid-calf boot with slight puckering around the top, called to mind a drawstring wellie. Second, there were chunky platform sandals with thick woven strapping. Deep shades of blue, green and burgundy bounced off all the traditionally menswear prints in the collection.
